North-east of Argentina

Hello everybody,

after long long time and many reminds from you I post. I know, some of you got scared what happend with me and with my travel in South America. Don´t worry, I´m still alive and in good mood.

First of all I will try to catch the time a bit and briefly write what I´ve experienced in Argentina. After visiting from Iguazu Falls I wanted to see the Reservation de Ibera, but high costs and incompetention of local tourist officers didn´t allow more than to see only the biggest hydroelectric power plant inArgentina on Parana River so called Yaciretá. Couple of days before I saw the biggest hydroelectric power plant in Brazil (Itaipu) so concerning hydroenergy I´ve seen pretty everything what is to see in the region.

I know for those of you who visit nuclear power plants in Slovac Republic is hydroenergy not so interesting anymore, but ... :)

Back to the travel. The Reservation de Ibera is a big complex of lakes and moors in the north.east of Argentina and is rich on fauna and flora s well. You can see crocodilles and different kind of birds and so on. The only problem was, that it was off season and there were no tourist who wold share the costs with me to get affordable price for a guided tour, which is the only way how to get there.

At the end I was pushed by tourist officers from one village to another without any succes and any picture of a wild life. After three days it was enough and I had to go to Buenos Aires as well.

Here are some photos from this part of my travel:

Still there should come a post about Buenos Aires, Uruguay, Ushuaia and Torres del Paine. Some nice pictures and a lot of fun for me.

Sorry for the delay, but there was so much to do and so many things to explore, that I wasn´t able to post.
